Plans

A House Is Not A Home is an adaptation of "Interior", by Maurice Maeterlinck, designed to be played on a non-theatrical space. The plot is simple: two persons observe from the yard the interior of a house; they have to share some bad news to the residents. But the image of apparent happiness on the interior will make it hard to achieve this goal.

A House Is Not A Home is performed on an exterior public space as the audience use headphones. The audience might feel the isolation of the house as they're able to spy the lives of its residents. This "stalker action" adds a soundtrack that turns the spectator into an active witness of the show's situation. A single word can disrupt the order of events and transform a peaceful home into an inhospitable place.
